We comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches) Act 2017, ensuring that your communication preferences are strictly respected.
11. Responsible Gambling Information
As a licensed operator, GemBet promotes responsible gambling. We use your data to help monitor betting habits and detect signs of problem gambling, such as excessive time or spending on pokies or sports punts.

12. Minors and Restricted Access
GemBet services are intended strictly for adults aged 18 years and over. We verify all new users through KYC (Know Your Customer) checks to prevent minors from registering or gambling on our Site. If we identify any underage use, we will immediately close the account and delete personal data, except where retention is required for legal compliance.
13. Data Breach Notification
In accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) promptly in the event of a data breach that is likely to cause serious harm.
Our incident response team assesses potential risks, mitigates exposure, and implements remediation measures immediately.
14. Third‑Party Links and Websites
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as game providers, affiliate partners, and payment service platforms. These websites operate independently of GemBet, and we do not accept responsibility for their content or privacy practices.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external websites before providing personal information.
15. Use of Cryptocurrencies
For punters choosing to transact in cryptocurrencies, GemBet records only wallet addresses and transaction confirmations necessary to process deposits and withdrawals. We do not store or control private keys. All crypto data is handled according to our security protocols and in compliance with relevant Australian laws and international AML standards.
16. Automated Decision‑Making
GemBet may apply limited automated processes for risk scoring, bonus eligibility, or anti‑fraud checks. Such decisions never produce legal effects or significantly affect users without human review. You may request manual reassessment of any automated decision by contacting [email protected].
17. Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or industry standards. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
